In 1692, Mary Bradbury was tried, convicted, and sentenced to hang for the crime of witchcraft in Salem, Massachusetts. She escaped, and with her a tome of unbridled arcane power. Centuries have passed since that day.The book has been passed down the family line from witch, to witch, to witch. No longer a book, but an archive—one Witch Hunters have been seeking since the day of Mary's escape. Now, the Archive finds home in the mind of the youngest of Mary's descendants, a bookish girl named Amber. In order to save her family and keep their secrets, Amber will have to break with tradition—but will her family ever be able to forgive her?
